Npepps - aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive

Predicted to enable metalloaminopeptidase activity; peptide binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to hypoxia; peptide catabolic process; and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; ear; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human NPEPPS (aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
